Yo Gabba Gabba AWESOME!

Yesterday we went to Yo Gabba Gabba Live in Charlotte and I have to say I think my mom and I enjoyed it as much as Ella! It was non-stop fun from the beginning to the end. I wasn't sure what to expect from the tour. I didn't know if it would be like the TV show or something totally different. But it was beyond my expectations!

I didn't allow Ella to watch Nick Jr. until this year. But so many of her friends watched it, I finally caved in. I will admit the first couple of Yo Gabba Gabba episodes weirded me out. When my mom watched them with Ella she thought it was crazy as well. But then we both started to pay attention to what Ella was gaining from the show. Ella was sharing with her friends more. She would sing songs from the show at the right time. Like, "inside voice, quiet" or "try it, you'll like it." So, the show kind of grew on us.

If the tour is coming to your town, I highly suggest going. It was interactive with dancing, singing, and just being silly. It was wholesome fun without any negativity which I loved. They sang songs that the kids knew from previous episodes. We did dancey dances from our seats and even Leslie Hall performed. Of course it wouldn't be complete without Biz Markie doing Biz's beat of the day. He had all of the kids come to the stage to make beats. It was adorable! I loved the lights, the huge video displays, bubbles, confetti, and even hundreds of balloons that fell from the sky! I would compare this show to the Vegas version of the Blue Man Group. Yes, it was that good.

We got to go to the VIP party afterwards and again, I highly recommend getting this package! The food spread was amazing with organic Plum fruit smashes and Revolution Foods. Not to mention tons of fruit, sandwiches, cheeses, and more. The tables had coloring pages and birthday hats. Leslie Hall came out to dance with the kids. Ella gave her a silly band and made her day. Then DJ Lance came out to read the kids a story. He was rushed for time, but still was able to hug many kids. He even came back out because one little girl didn't get to say hi and was hysterically crying. That really touched me that he cared for his little fans that much! Then Biz came out to beat box with the kids. Ella gave him and DJ Lance a silly band as well. We finally got to meet the rest of the Yo Gabba Gabba team and Ella was a bit scared. But, she finally warmed up as we were walking away and there were no cameras. Yo Gabba Gabba Live was an amazing show! If it's coming to your town, be sure to catch it!
